Would you believe that Outlook Express just magically appeared in mr. kenju's start menu this a.m? We have to configure it, of course. I tried to get him to get a new email address - but he wants to stay with what he knows - even if it isn't the best. <BR/><BR/>We do have Norton Security, and Road Runner is pretty good about nuking spyware, etc., so we should be fine.

It's terrible buggy and it is the worst piece of software you can have on your computer because it's got so many ways to infiltrate it. Try using gmail or yahoo, both of which protect you from downloading a virus. <BR/><BR/>Michele sent me.margalithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09782326504951603071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10194064.post-1135715190009717282005-12-27T15:26:00.000-05:002005-12-27T15:26:00.000-05:00Really, this can be fixed!

Didn't like it as much as what I have now.<BR/><BR/>But ALL of the e-mails can be fixed so that you don't have to enter your name and password each time. RIGHT NOW college kids are home from school.

It's a shame you can't just call someone to come over and show you how everything works for a reasonable price... Every computer technician I've found charges more than I really think they should.<BR/><BR/>I think Outlook has way too many security issues and glitches. I use Yahoo e-mail only- have for years and it's never given me any problems. It's only gotten better as the years have gone by.
